Well, I got my wish, sort of. The colonoscopy only revealed one polyp and it hadn't turned bad, but my doctor said it would have soon.
I got home and laid down for a while. About lunch time I got the urge to pee but couldn't. I tried drinking fluids but still couldn't go. I called my Dr. back about 3:30 but the office closed at one. The answering service paged him and he called me right back.
He told me to soak in a warm bath for a couple hours and if that didn't help go to the ER and get a catheter put in.
If you have never had a catheter inserted I pray you never have to! The only pain that compared to it was the pain from my bladder.
When the catheter finally got to my bladder the relief was immediate.
But, lab reports showed I had an Urinary tract infection too.
So, after two days of hell and heaven I am laying here with a tube in me and emptying a bag every 6 hours.
I was told that my prostate probably squeezed the urethra shut causing my problem.
I released 1900ccs of liquid before they let me go home. They also said I was very close to having my bladder burst.
I have to make an appointment with my Urologist in the morning, I hope the catheter doesn't hurt as much coming out!!
